Profile:
Born on February 22, 1873, at Kamptee, India. A middle order right-hand bat and right-arm
fast medium bowler, he went to Wellington and Sandhurst. He played eight first-class matches
for the Europeans in India between 1897/98 to 1902/93 and in one match for Hampshire in 1907
against Yorkshire at Bradford, when he was stationed nearby with the West Yorkshire Regiment.
In a rain affected match, Wood scored 5 and 4, twice falling victim to Wilfred Rhodes. He
played a final first-class match in 1909 for H.D.G. Leveson-Gower's XI at Cambridge, so he
played 10 first-class matches in all, with a top score of 30, but his bowling was successful
in India where he took 34 wickets with a best of 6-51.
Attaining the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, he was awarded the DSO in the First World War, and
died near Ismail Oglu Tepe at Gallipoli on August 22, 1915, aged 42.
